The viral clip is from a public event where a reporter appears to ask a question in English. Nana, known for his straightforward personality, interrupts and asks the reporter to speak in Hindi.


He can be heard saying, “Hindi mein bol, Angrezi nahi aati,” which roughly translates to, "Speak in Hindi, I don’t know English."



His quick response immediately gets a reaction from the audience, with people bursting into laughter and applauding. The other members of the Housefull 5 team can also be seen on stage during the exchange.
